Work With Us

The Word On The Street is seeking talented book lovers to support our annual festival and year-round programs.

About The Word On The Street

The Word On The Street champions reading and writing in Canada through a free annual festival and year-round literary programming that celebrates storytelling, ideas, and imagination.

The Word On The Street values inclusion and diversity, and encourages those who are Indigenous, racialized, disabled, LGBTQ2S, and others facing systemic oppression to apply.

Thank you to all of our volunteers who made The Word On The Street’s 35th Annual Festival so incredible!

Volunteer opportunities for The Word On The Street’s 36th Annual Festival will open late summer 2025.
